I don't have much time for painting for last four or five weeks unfortunately. My Ashen Circle warriors sit patiently waiting for my few hours of free time and I paint, in some free minutes, miniatuers which are nowhere so time-consuming. I searched through my collection of old Night Horrors series for miniatures, which may be used in Frostgrafe - first of them was Pit Fiend, shown few days ago.

Today's liche was already painted by me some 25 years ago, but I decided to repaint this miniature, as I don't really like my old ideas and painting anymore. Miniature was stripped and then painted in just 20 or 30 minutes. Very simple paint scheme, black wash and Charadon Granite paint over white basecoat. Highlights, or "ethereal" glow, as I like to think about it, was glazed over with multiple layers of very thin Nihlakh Oxide.

Miniature has its years and this is clearly visible. It has simplistic design and is casted in rather crude way. It's no wonder, as it was released in 1985... And its first version, named as a Spectre, was available since 1983 in the boxed set labelled as Dungeon Monsters Starter Set. There was a difference though, as the original miniature was wielding a dagger. Marks of weapon removal are obvious on my miniature and I suspect that master miniature for "Liche" version was made from old metal miniature, not original sculpt. Cast is rather poor, as I already mentioned, my miniature has got some holes on the front and skull and bony hands are very, very simple. It doesn't matter really - I like this old liche, he was leading my undead army for few years and it will be used again - in Frostgrave games I think.
